July saw multi-child households saving a combined total of 22 million rubles
Russia has bolstered its social support measures as part of ongoing national projects, focusing primarily on families. These initiatives encompass maternity capital, housing and communal services (HCS) discounts, targeted subsidies, and compensation for families living with participants of the special military operation (SVO).
The Family national project, spanning through 2030, allocates substantial funds (approximately 18 trillion rubles over six years) to support large families. This support comes in the form of measures such as maternity capital, tax deductions for families with two or more children, and single-child allowances.
In addition to financial assistance, large families also benefit from social privileges, including discounts or subsidies for HCS. These privileges aim to alleviate financial burdens on families, particularly in regions with below-average birth rates. In 2025, co-financing support was allocated to 41 regions.
Regarding families living with SVO participants, while specific details on compensation were not directly outlined, the government is actively engaged in extending social support. This includes subsidies and compensation payments for SVO participants and their families as part of national efforts related to social and demographic policies.
Application procedures for these measures typically involve submitting required documents to local social protection authorities or multifunctional centers (MFCs) administering social support programs. Eligibility is verified based on criteria such as family size, income level, and status as relatives of SVO participants. Regional authorities also participate in co-financing and administering these supports, in line with federal guidelines established by ministries such as the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the Government of Russia.
Last month, 7,379 large families received a 30% discount on HCS, resulting in a total savings of 22.7 million rubles. Additionally, seven families living with SVO participants received compensation for housing and capital repair fees, totalling 24,000 rubles. However, no specific information was provided about the impact of these subsidies or discounts on the overall financial situation of the residents or the republic.
For more detailed information about social support measures and their application procedure, residents can contact the GKB "Agency of Subsidies" at 8-800-222-50-70. The Agency of Subsidies reported these subsidies and discounts last month, but no details about the criteria for receiving this new measure of support were provided.
Expenses for the payment of capital repair fees were compensated for 5,000 residents of the republic last month, while 6,078 Yakutians received targeted subsidies for utility payments. However, no information was given about the number of families who received similar support in previous months, the total savings from this new measure in July, or any other new measures of support announced in July.
In conclusion, social support in Russia focuses on families through national projects that provide various benefits, including maternity capital, HCS discounts, targeted subsidies, and presumably compensation for families of SVO participants. These programs involve cooperation between federal and regional governments, with formal application through designated social service channels. Specific procedural details may vary regionally and are administered by local social protection offices.
Personal finance for families in Russia can receive significant support through the Family national project, which provides measures like maternity capital, tax deductions, and allowances for large families. Large families also benefit from social privileges such as HCS discounts and subsidies to alleviate financial burdens, particularly in regions with below-average birth rates.
